    Outside from parking lot. Winter set up.

    We love going to Embers by the Lake! It's a family favorite for a weekend respite. The pizzas are great, with a bit of a charred crust from the wood fired cooking. Great drinks, service and food. The wait is long, but the kids love hiking around the area, and we often play Corn Hole while waiting or just sit by the outdoor fire. They also have a good view of Lake Hauser. We love driving our side by side over the hill to this great location along the lake. We'll be back over and over.

    We walked from our Airbnb to Embers and we really enjoyed it. The vibe was unbeatable - outside seating with a big grass are where kids were running around. They had a great selection of wine/beer/drinks as well. The summer salad needed more dressing and then large was way too big for 2 people. I'd say for maybe 3-4 it's better. The pizzas were both cooked perfect and had great flavor. We got a gluten free crust for the truffle pizza and it was great for my gluten free friend - good flavor not just like cardboard.

    As always phenomenal pizza, fabulous service and a great setting. Even when it's super busy the staff is friendly and constantly checking to make sure everything is good. Our daughter loves playing with pizza dough while we wait for our meal, it's a great way to entertain the little ones. This will always be a favorite, can't get tired of this place!

    Back after 2 years...while the first visit was phenomenal this time even better. Got there at opening 4pm to beat the crowd. The setting is a quaint old house converted into a great venue complete with outside seating across from a serene lake. Inside are two wood fired pizza ovens, one for regular pizzas and another for gluten free. A nice bar surrounds the ovens with an assortment of beers on tap or opt for wine or some mixed drinks. We opted to sit inside and our server greeted us with a smile and great attitude. We ordered a blood orange Hefeweizen and examined the menu. My last visit I had the Pend Oreille Pie, a thick crust pie extraordinaire. (I ordered one to go) This time we split the Papa's Special- marinara-sausage-pepperoni-salami & smoked bacon on a thin wood fired crust that had great char, crisp & chew. There were plenty of toppings! After eating great pizza in many parts of the country I have to rate this one as the best!!! Atmosphere Pizza Friendliness overall

    Excellent pizza by the lake! Called in the order, drove out, it was ready to go! They made the wrong pizza - and the made the right pizza and gave me both with hardly any wait! It was a total bonus. The sweet and smoky bbq chicken pizza was our bonus pizza and it was delicious!

    This place is an experience for the whole family!! The drive in to the location is beautiful and you feel like you are at a members only, hidden gem type soot. The whole place is like a parents playground. The kids can play, while you warm up next to the gas fires with an IPA or whatever. Pizza is delicious, lots of special options and the kids can make their own breadsticks for free. Great service, very attentive and helpful. A bit of a wait but that is expected with a spot like this!! Come ready to eat and have a blast!!! Nice art on the walls too!

    Beautiful view.

    We had the pleasure of meeting friends here for a wonderful dinner. We were visiting and was so impressed with the vibe and view! Super nice employees who are friendly and welcoming. We had both the ceaser and summer salads. Very good. Then we split four pizzas. I can't recall the names, but it didn't matter. They were all very good. Highly recommend.

    Half of two amazing different pizzas I don't remember, but darn they were yummy!

    This place is a must visit! The pizza is absolutely amazing and the salads are to die for! I bring everyone I know here and will continue to.

When my burger finally arrived, it looked like it had survived three natural disasters and a custody battle. The fries had the texture of roofing materials. The cheese appeared to be legally classified as a construction adhesive. A duck from the lake stared at my meal and walked away in disgust. The patio view was nice until a fly started charging me rent for my table. I think it had seniority over the staff. I asked for a refill and aged visibly waiting for it. By the time I left, my phone battery had gone from 100% to 2%, my ancestors were contacting me through dreams, and I was pretty sure the burger was still fighting back.

Yes, but it's an amazing price and is yummy enough that I'm not complaining. And what a view when you step outside. When it's warmer weather, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the view the whole time. Or you could eat at D-Mac's, which is connected, and also see the view through the large windows. I really like this place and will be back for sure.

    I'm going to give Pi-daho five stars…read more Under normal circumstances I think this would probably be a four-star review. But there are a couple of things that lead me to be charitable. First, and most important. The pizza here is really good. We ordered two different pizzas, the Boise and the orofino, and both were absolutely delicious. They were cooked well, the toppings all worked well together, absolutely no complaints. Something else that you need to know is that this is just a food truck outside the Post Falls brewing company. So you can buy your pizza and then go and sit in the brewing company, or you can take it home. Now why would this normally be a four star review? Well, first, it is a little pricey. I understand they're making custom pizzas for order. But at the end of the day, it is just pizza. And don't get me wrong I love pizza, but Pizza is not an incredibly expensive food to make. The second thing is there's limited parking in the lot for the brewing company and so you have to park on the street and it can be difficult to find parking on the street depending on how busy it is. The last thing, and it might just be an off day, but the lady that helped us was not the friendliest person I've ever dealt with. Also, I understand it's a small business, but with the pizzas as expensive as they are I shouldn't have to pay an extra 50 cents for a to-go box. So why is this a five star review and not a four star review? Well, because it's a small business and I want to support small businesses. But also, I think this is a really clever idea and I really appreciate what they're doing here in terms of celebrating Idaho specifically but also different kinds of options for pizza. So I would definitely check this place out absolutely well worth it.
